Does a flying career appeal to you? While the impact of the downturn in the business cycle on airline operations was difficult worldwide, over the next 10 years there will be a resurgence in demand for professionally trained pilots to meet airline needs. The need for new pilots will be fueled by expanding air travel, baby boomer pilot retirements and fewer pilots being available from the military. The Professional Pilot Program offered by Calgary Flight Training Centre may be right for you.
